The Promise Altered Hangtag

It's time for another entry at the 3 Muses Challenge Blog, and this time the theme is Keys. I'm calling this The Promise.

The Promised Altered Art Hang Tag


I started with a large decorative hangtag that already had the black design motif on the bottom right corner, which I loved. Then I stamped on an image of a very Leonardo-esque woman on the upper left in black ink. I added an aged copper-look key, which I decided to turn into a butterfly of sorts by adding some decorative 3-D felt hearts I got on clearance recently. The hearts serve as the wings. Then I added a couple of red plastic heart embellishments to help carry that red color around the design. And I finished it with a red word sticker that reads, promise.

I was thinking of the Luther Vandross song, Promise Me, with lyrics that go...

Promise that you'll leave me never,

that we'll be in love forever...

I love how it turned out. I think I might save it for a future gift!
